Antique 1890s Hand Painted Wood Carousel Carnival Circus Horse - Folk Art

Description

Antique 1880s - 1910s Victorian Era WOOD Hand Painted Circus Carousel Carnival Horse. This piece stands 52" tall is 48" long and 12" wide and weights approx 200+lbs. I believe to be something that drew people in to the carousel ride or side show attractions could even have been used as just a focal piece displayed at the entrance or center of the circus / carnival. The piece features glass eyes, a real horse hair tail, a 100% hand made painted and carved solid wood body, which was coated in a thin layer of a plaster type substance then completely hand painted. Condition is as seen there is cracking to the wood body due to age, no issues with it being fragile the cracking is just on the exterior,
this piece is very solid and structurally sound.
If someone has further information on if its American or German ect. or info on who may have carved it.  THIS PIECE WILL BE LOCAL PICKUP ONLY, if you are wanting this piece shipped the buyer is responsible to set that up and I would make myself available for pickup
